  Patrons of Industry - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Patrons of Industry was a Canadian farmers' organization formed in 1890 that cooperated with the urban labour movement to address the political frustrations of both groups with big business.
The Patrons of Industry also nominated 31 candidates in the 1896 federal election, but only one was elected one to the Canadian House of Commons.
The party achieved few gains for farmers, and only one Patrons of Industry member was re-elected in the 1898 Ontario provincial election.

 Darren Ferry | "Severing the Connections in a Complex Community": The Grange, the Patrons of Industry and the ...
As a result, the failure of both the Patrons of Husbandry and the Patrons of Industry mirrored that of organizations such as the Knights of Labor, as both farmers and the larger community were simply ill prepared for the radical rhetoric of agrarian class-consciousness.
The Patrons of Industry in Canadian historiography are viewed either as an agrarian retreat into classic economic liberalism, or the harbingers of radical social change as farmers confronted industrialism with collectivized solutions to the problems of modern monopoly capitalism.
Historians of both the Patrons of Industry and the Populist "moment" in the United States have debated these points of political economy, concluding either that these rural protesters suggested collectivized or "socialist" responses to industrial capitalism, or were simply a part of 19th-century popular radicalism that often challenged the hegemony of the marketplace.

 Rider Responsibility
Patrons of an amusement ride, device, or attraction, by participation, accept the risks inherent in such participation of which the ordinary prudent person is or should be aware.
Patrons have a duty to exercise good judgment and act in a responsible manner while using the amusement ride, device, or attraction and to obey all oral or written warnings, or both, prior to or during participation, or both.
It seems a bit disingenuous for the industry to publicly proclaim that amusement rides are perfectly safe, hide all evidence to the contrary, and then quietly lobby for laws that hold those same children, or their parents, liable for ride-related injuries.

 Patrons of Industry in Manitoba - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Patrons were the first "third party" to emerge in Manitoba after partisan government was formally introduced to the province in 1888.
On August 23, 1894, the Patrons were recognized as a significant force in Manitoba politics when their candidate John Forsyth defeated Conservative leader John Andrew Davidson in a Beautiful Plains by-election, although it should be noted that there was no Liberal candidate in the race.
Forsyth was expelled from the Patrons in 1895 for using a railway pass (given free to legislators) in violation of party policy.
